Timing Belt Removal and Installation
Installation is in the reverse order of removal, referring to Installation Notes.Installation Notes:
Timing belt auto tensioner:
1. Slowly press in the tensioner rod by using a press or a vise.
Caution:Applying pressure of more than 9,807 N (1,000 kgf, 2,200 lbf) can damage the tensioner.
2. Insert a pin into the second hole in the body as shown to hold the tensioner rod.
Pin diameter: 1.6 mm (0.06 in)
3. Set the tensioner in place and snugly tighten the tensioner upper bolt.
Note: This must be done to reduce the timing belt resistance when the idler pulley is installed.
Timing belt:
1. Turn the camshaft pulleys and align the timing marks of the camshaft pulleys with those of the cylinder heads.
2. Using the crankshaft bolt, turn the crankshaft and align the timing marks of the timing belt pulley and the oil pump.
3. Install the timing belt on the pulleys in the order shown below.
(1) Timing belt pulley
(2) Idler pulley No.1
(3) LH camshaft pulley
(4) Tensioner pulley
(5) RH camshaft pulley
Caution: Verify that the belt has no looseness at the tension side.
4. Verify that the belt has no looseness at the tension side.
5. Install the No.2 idler pulley while applying the pressure on the timing belt.
Tightening torque: 38 - 51 Nm (3.8 - 5.3 m-kg, 28 - 38 ft lb)
6. Push the auto tensioner in the direction of the arrow and tighten the bolts.
Tightening torque: 19 - 25 Nm (1.9 - 2.6 kgf-m, 14 - 18 ft lb)
7. Remove the pin from the auto tensioner to apply tension to the belt.
8. Turn the crankshaft clockwise twice , and align the timing marks.
9. Verify that all timing marks are correctly aligned. If necessary, repeat the procedure beginning from installation of the timing belt auto tensioner.
10. Check the timing belt deflection by applying moderate pressure 98 N (10 kgf, 22 lbf) midway between the crankshaft pulley and the auto tensioner.
Deflection: 6 - 8 mm (0.24 - 0.31 in)
Timing belt cover:
1. Install the right timing belt cover.

2. Install the left timing belt cover.
Tightening torque: 7.9 - 10.7 Nm (80 - 110 cm-kg, 70 - 95 in lb)
3. Install the crankshaft position sensor connector bracket on the left timing belt cover.
Tightening torque: 7.9 - 10.7 Nm (80 - 110 cm-kg, 70 - 95 in lb)
4. Install the harness bracket on the right timing belt cover.
Tightening torque: 7.9 - 10.7 Nm (80 - 110 cm-kg, 70 - 95 in lb)
5. Install the No.3 engine mount.
Tightening torque:
(A): 74 - 102 Nm (7.5 - 10.5 m-kg, 55 - 75 ft lb)
(B): 86 - 116 Nm (8.7 - 11.9 m-kg, 63 - 86 ft lb)
6. Remove the SST (engine support).
Dipstick and pipe:
1. Apply clean engine oil to a new 0-ring, and install it on the guide pipe.
2. Remove the plug from the engine and install the pipe.
Tightening torque: 7.9 - 10.7 Nm (80 - 110 cm-kg, 70 - 95 in lb)
3. Install the dipstick.
4. Install the crank angle sensor harness and clip to the dipstick pipe.
5. Connect the connector.
Crankshaft pulley:
1. Remove the crankshaft pulley bolt.
2. Install the crankshaft pulley and hand tighten the bolt.
3. Mount the SST on the crankshaft pulley to hold the crankshaft.
4. Tighten the crankshaft pulley bolt.
Tightening torque: 157 - 166 Nm (16 - 17 m-kg, 116 - 122 ft lb)
P/S oil pump:
1. Install the P/S oil pump.
Tightening torque:
(A): 32 - 46 Nm (3.2 - 4.7 m-kg, 24 - 33 ft lb)
(B): 19 - 25 Nm (1.9 - 2.6 m-kg, 14 - 18 ft lb)
2. Install the P/S oil pump pulley and loosely tighten the pulley nut.
3. Tighten the pulley nut by using a 12mm (O.47 in) socket on the P/S oil pump mount bolts.
Tightening torque: 63 - 93 Nm (6.4 - 9.5 m-kg, 46 - 69 ft lb)
4. Install the P/S oil reservoir.
Tightening torque: 6.9 - 9.8 Nm (70 - 1OO cm-kg, 61 - 86 in lb)
Drive belt:
1. Install the water pump pulley and hand tighten the bolts.
2. Install the P/S oil pump and water pump drive belt on the pulleys.
3. Adjust the drive belt deflection.
4.Tighten the water pump pulley.
Tightening torque: 7.9 - 10.7 Nm (80 - 110 kgf-cm, 70 - 95 in lb)
6. Install the A/C compressor drive belt on the pulleys, and adjust the belt deflection.
Steps After Installation:
1. Install the right front wheel.
1. Fill the radiator and coolant reservoir with the specified amount and type of engine coolant.
2. Perform the necessary engine adjustments.
